So this dumbass thinks the entire population of American gun owners are coming to their rescue?
Every gun owner I’ve talked to on the internet claims they do this to protect themselves from the US government. Every gun owner I’ve talked with on the internet doesn’t have an answer for when I discuss the massive firepower the US has in comparison to their pew pew sticks.
edit: I should qualify this a little. There are responsible gun owners, and I have talked with some on the internet. There sure are a lot of vocal irresponsible gun owners as well, and those are the ones I have spent far more time arguing with online. You know the ones - they buy the gun and expect it to do all the work for them.
Here's your answer.
All the bombs, missiles, planes, and tanks are how the US got a decisive victory in Vietnam.
Oh, so let me get this straight, tens of thousands of lardass Texas militiamen are somehow magically going to be willing to live in tunnels with the most primitive amenities and horrible conditions? Why the fuck would you think that for a moment? These aren't third world peasants who are used to living in extreme privation and are willing to die for their cause no matter what. They're a bunch of out of shape untrained fat body crybabies who wouldn't last a week without easy access to the rest of North America's logistics, financial and power infrastructure.
The US wouldn't have to fire a single shot, they'd just bomb the Texas power stations, shut down all border crossings into and out of the state, shut down all banking so that only a barter economy existed, and within a week or so the entire state would be on its knees begging for relief.
You can't do that in places like Vietnam or Afghanistan where the enemy is totally self-sufficient and is quite happy to wait you out. You really think Texans are going to be able to do that? In what universe? What a joke. You obviously haven't thought this through.
